In the wide-open AFC West, an up-and-coming restored regime is laying the foundation for great things to soon come to fruition.
While injuries weren’t the biggest reason the Oakland Raiders fell short of postseason play in 2011, the return of defensive end Matt Shaughnessy and running back Darren McFadden is only more reason for optimism for Oakland in the upcoming season.
